Last but definitely not least, the BRONCO packs a new power amp
based on a radically underdamped design that interacts with the speaker in much the same way as a tube amplifier does, producing sparkle and punch with an increase in apparent loudness and power that defies comparison to other similarly rated units. Also included is a sophisticated, transparent protection scheme designed to prevent amplifier failure due to bad speaker cords or incorrectly connected speaker jacks.
The BRONCO’s compact size, great tone, versatile features, and all around handsome appearance make it the perfect amplifier for practice, backstage
The selection of a Fender amplifier will reward you with years of quality performance and a wide range of musical sounds. The built in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over four decades of dedication in the combined skills of research and development by our engineers and musicians.
That is why we proudly say...FENDER, The Sound That Creates Legends.
